Still Looking for Talent
Progress is moving along nice and slowly, as we expected it to, but in looking forward, we are still in need of more talent to help out with this wonderful little beast of a project we have taken on. If you are, or know someone that would be interested in something like this, please send them my way ASAP. Being local to the northeast Indiana region would be helpful, but not always needed, this is an obstacle that can be worked around.
We still have the following spots to fill:
1. several voice over acting parts, both male and female (a singing voice would be a huge plus)
always looking for anyone familiar with stop-motion puppet making
2. set designers/builders
3. costume designers/makers
4. Musicians, we have one person working on songs, but always looking for more input, as well as background musicians for the length of the film. Experience with Scottish or Irish traditional music would be a huge plus here.
5.A musical group for a special part of the film, your preferred musical style may not matter too overly much so long as you are flexible here.
6. A photographer/videographer. Someone interested in taking pictures and /or video of behind the scenes activities for later on.
If you have a talent that you think would be an asset to the production, even if it is not on the list, please feel free to email me at fallensaint1977@aol.com. Include your talent, contact information, location, etc.
Thanks for visiting and checking this out guys, hope to hear from many of you real soon.
BTW, I have not forgotten about posting more detailed information on cast and crew members, I will get to that as soon as i possibly can.

Cast Information-Ossey James
After posting two brief blurbs about two of the cast for the film, some of you started asking questions about who they were. I apologize for those brief posts that did not really provide any real info, other than the fact that the parts had been cast. So, today I am correcting that a bit by putting up some more information on one of our cast, specifically Ossey James. I will be doing the same for the actress, Laura Niemeyer, who is portraying Julia within a day or so.
Ok for those of you who do not know Ossey, he is an up and comer whose talents include acting, modeling, singing as well as songwriting. He is originally from Chicago, but moved to Los Angeles to expand his career opportunites. Born with a passion for music, he plays both six string and bass guitar, and the piano. He began writing songs and music around the age of thirteen and has not stopped since. His talent in this field has allowed him to work with several Grammy nominated producers and artists, as well as talent from Atlantic and Universal Records. Being the sole member of his family involved in this career field, he jokingly labels himself a "black sheep" of sorts.
He started to pursue a career in acting when he was 19, taking up training at Actone Studios and the Chicago Actors Studio, as well as countless hours of self study. Before getting into film and commercial work, he loved performing in live stage theatre, and was a gold medalist for acting at the World Championship of Performing Arts. Ossey has had the opportunity to work with A-listers such as actor Vince Vaughn and director/producer Ron Howard. He has also done various commercials for big name companies like Nintendo and Apple spoofs.
He continues to write music, act as well as model, and we are excited to have added him to our cast for the film. We chose Ossey for his unique voice and his almost scarey resemblance to the voice of Wolfstead that has been in my head since the start of this project.
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to post a comment or question below, and myself or someone else will do whatever we can to make sure it is answered ASAP.

Cast Update!
Well the voice over part for Julia, the female lead, has been filled tonight. Laura Niemeyer, a college student from the Chicago area, who recently started modeling has agreed to take on the role. Laura's voice, is in my opinion, a perfect match for what we have been looking for. In fact, we put off auditioning or discussions with other actresses because we felt so strongly she was the person to bring Julia's voice to life.
More to be posted at a later time.

Wolfstead
Great news, we have gotten Ossey James to agree to play the part of Wolfstead. I will post later on a little more info about Ossey, his talents, and his background.
Character Designs
I have spent the past week communicating with several artists who are contributing to the film, and have been blown away with what i have seen so far in terms of Character concepts and designs. The amount talent that some of these individuals possess blows my mind. I hope to be able to start adding images to the blog sometime in the next week. So keep your eyes out.
